Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Today being October 11, 2008, I am reminded of an incident which happened a year ago on the same day. My mother was reading gujarati book "Sai Sarovar" during the same period from past few months. The book contained original photograph of Shirdi Sai Baba, which is attached herewith. She read the history of the photograph and a desire arouse in her mind to get this photograph anyhow. A family friend was also reading the same book. She is a staunch devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba. Our family friend and my mother exchanged thoughts regarding the photograph. To the surprise of both, they both wanted the same photograph ! They both took a vow that if they got it then they would to go to Sai temple walking which is about 10 kms away. For two three days they visited some places in our town where few elderly Sai Devotees lived, but none of them was aware of the photograph. While searching a house of another devotee as a last chance they reached to the house of a devotee by mistake where this photograph was framed and hanged on the wall. It was black and white photograph. My mother and our family friend requested the person to get them another copy of the photograph. He said he was not able to recall from where did he get the photograph, but will try to get at least one copy. That day was October 11, 2007, Thursday. This date has another importance in our life in the sense that it is my younger brother's birthday. So we had been out for dinner that day. We reached home late at about 11 p.m. Our family friend called on my mobile and asked for my mother. I felt as if she was very happy. She told my mother that she got the photograph. It was on the first page of Sai Sarovar !!! They both were reading the book since past few months still they were not aware of the photograph on the first page and they tried hard to get it from outside while it was with us, surprised me to a great extent. Great is the Leela of Shirdi Sai Baba and this showed that Shirdi Sai Baba is always with us and we dont have to search for Him anywhere outside. In this way, we got this divine photograph on Thursday and on a special day. We made one copy of the photograph for our shrine and it was installed on Dusshera day (October 21,2007) last year. All of my family members have realised the divine powers of the photograph. Baba has blessed us in true sense through the medium of this photograph. There is another leela of Shirdi Sai Baba associated with this photograph and me. Before starting the blog, I was member of Sab Ka Malik Ek . I had posted my experience there to share with my Sai Family members on January 5, 2008. Since Leelas associated with this photograph are being written in this post, I am copy pasting the same post here (introduction is omitted). A few days later after the photograph was installed in our shrine, I thought that it should be given to my friends and colleagues also, so that they all also be benefitted. So I tried to contact the person who developed another copy of the photo for us, but in vain. Incidently, i happened to get the photo on the web after Diwali. I saved it to my office and home PC. Today while taking print outs of my study material, I happened to notice the very same photo of Baba and a thought passed my mind that I should take a print. I did so and I saw abeautiful photo of Baba in my hands. I and my parents were trying to get copy of the photo from outside and we found that Baba was residing in our home only. We all were overjoyed seeing the photo that too early in morning. We decided to take more print outs and gift to our family friends and colleagues. To our surprise we counted the number of copies and it cameto 9. From the above incident I realized the following: WE TRY TO FIND BABA OUTSIDE BUT FORGET THAT HE RESIDES IN THE HEART OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS. JUST TRY TO PEEP IN YOUR HEART AND YOU WILL FIND BABA INSIDE YOU...
